adam dalton: Beware Craigslist Scammers!!
- 06/19/12 07:33 AM
Attention: Please be aware that scammers are taking your online listing information and MLS photos in order to create fake rental ads on Craigslist. They are creating these in order to scam consumers out of their “initial deposits” to rent the property.
This week our office has had multiple agents reporting that their listings were created into fake ads and posted on craiglist as properties for rent by the “owner”. These scammers will usually provide just an email as they are hard to trace and wait for consumers to contact them regarding the ad. These are typically priced very attractively (3 comments)
adam dalton: What is a Short Sale?
- 09/26/11 12:19 PM
It's been a few years since the market fell apart, but I still get this question at least weekly... What is a short sale? To put it simply, a short sale is an agreement of terms in which the lien-holders of a loan on a home agree to accept less than the amount that is owed from the borrower on the home, through an offer by a 3rd party buyer. The inability to pay the remaining debt is usually a result of financial hardship on the part of the homeowner, accompanied by a substantial decrease in property value. This is seen (2 comments)

adam dalton: Would you like me to list your house or sell your house?
- 11/09/07 10:23 AM
Would you like me to list your house or sell your house? I am convinced that this is a question that we have all asked, wanted to ask, or are going to ask at some point in your dealings with clients. These past few weeks several potential clients have approached me with the intent of listing a home with me. Fantastic, right? So we sit down, go over some basic info, go over a few marketing plans, talk about the weather, etc, etc, etc. Then we get to talking about how the home might perform in the market and about price.

adam dalton: You can't win them all
- 11/07/07 11:23 AM
I am a big fan of ESPN's "The Contender" and last night's final was not only a great show, it was one of the most incredible fights that I have seen in a loooong time. A ten round fight that ended in TKO in the eighth after both fighter knocked each other down in the first round. The fighters trained with each other in mind but also trained so they could adapt to unforeseeable situations, which is exactly what happened. While not a great technical fighter, the persistence of underdog Sakio Bika of Africa won out over the defensive fighting stance (2 comments)

After football, Sunday TV is pretty limited. However, the wife and I settled on the couch and watched Castaway with Tom Hanks and his volleyball friend, Wilson. I'm sure some of you have seen it at some point. Its a decent movie, not too showy with the effects, more drama than action. Not 100 my 100 best or 100 worst lists. What struck me, though, was how much it applied to my life and probably many of your lives as real estate professionals at some point as well. I mean, here is a guy who is just living and working. Then, he literally (5 comments)
